• What's better than their smoothies? Their food!

I've visited the GSB off and on since its arrival because they have a great storefront and location (just a short walk from the core downtown area) and they're always packed with fresh food that leaves you feeling pretty darn good about your body! I've enjoyed their smoothies, but I'm the kind of person who will make tons of huge smoothies at home using frozen and fresh fruits and veg, so their portions are a little small for me, and none of the smoothies come with that refreshing chill you get from throwing a few frozen banana chunks in the blender back home. Still, they've got a wide range of tasty and enticing smoothie flavours, but what I REALLY love about GSB is their food menu. The desserts LOOK small, but will leave you in a euphoric food coma. The same goes with their rice/noodle/veg bowls - it has some magical tofu in it, and flavours that I will never be able to duplicate at home. Whenever I end up at the GSB these days, I just head straight for the food! As a con... sometimes the people working there just seem really grumpy/too busy to serve me, even if I'm the only person in the store? I don't want to be rude to the people who run this lovely establishment in any way, but if my social anxiety was any worse, the "attitude" of some of the employees would probably scare me into never coming back. They fit the stereotypical "I'm too good to deal with people like you" elitism. Which is weird, because I'll show up on a different day and be greeted by some of the nicest servers!
